Charlie Sheen Slams CBS, Warner Bros. TV For Not Allowing Him To Return To Work, Show's Order Reportedly Cut By 4 Episodes

UPDATED:Charlie Sheen made another bizarre public statement this morning, this time on live radio. The Two and a Half Men star, who is undergoing rehab treatment at home, called into the Dan Patrick Show to complain that CBS and Men producer Warner Bros. TV would not allow him to return to work despite, according to him, being ready to do so. “They said ‘You get ready and we’ll get ready’,” he said in the 30-minute interview. “I got ready and went back and nobody was there … I don’t know what to tell ya,” Sheen said, adding that he lost his voice banging on the show’s stage doors. He stressed that the show’s hiatus has been “forced”. He cracked that “at this pace”, Men will return to production in “August 2014″. Sheen later clarified that the show is expected to resume filming on Feb. 28.

CBS and WBTV declined comment on a TMZ report that the order for Men is being cut from 24 to 20 episodes. The show has 16 episodes in the can, with the 4 additional ones eyed to shoot on March 4, 11, 18 and 25. That means that the show’s producers won’t try to make up for the current four-week work stoppage. Last year, the 3-week hiatus caused by Sheen’s rehab treatment resulted in the show delivering 22 instead of 24 episodes. It is still unclear how the crew of the show will be compensated for any unproduced episodes. Sheen recently offered to cover a third of the pay if CBS and WBTV pick up the rest.

During the radio interview with Dan Patrick, Sheen insisted he is now “100%” clean and urged CBS and WBTV to take advantage of that. “I heal really quickly but I also unravel pretty quickly,” Sheen said. “So get me right now, guys.” Since his 36-hour bender that ended in a emergency hospital visit followed by a rehab treatment, Sheen has done 2 unfiltered interviews via text messaging, in which he called his detractors “turds.” He also made a surprise visit to a practice of UCLA’s baseball team, telling the guys: “Don’t do crack, drink chocolate milk, and enjoy every moment.”

Dan Patrick had Charlie Sheen on his show? The hell, Dan? I’ve got to hear this…

JTWallace • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Sheen doesn’t get it. He’s braying at the moon if he thinks the studio isn’t aware of his behavior and have to consider their own losses should the scandal force them to shut down. Had he kept his zipper closed, and nose clean, he wouldn’t be in this the finality of his youth. He must have been given an ultimatum to have gotten foolish enough to vent his vitriol.

Lives his life on his own money so what Thats what freedom is all about without hearting anyone. Enjoy his shows and shut up

Instead of watching his show you should learn to spell

RWhite • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

I love the show but I really need to know how he’s not hurting anyone? The poeple who work on that show get stuck with no pay for the forced hiatus that is becoming a annual event. I’m speaking of the crew not the actors of course. The blue collar paople that Charlie Sheen’s antics directly effect. Nice of the big spender to offer to pay a third of the bill for the working stiffs while he throws around millions at hookers and drugs

bdenn • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Without hurting anyone… except putting the hundred or so people who depend on that (really really bad) show to make a living. Transpo, grips, camera, PAs, and on and on… If the show goes away so do people’s jobs. If he wants to be self destructive he should have the common decency to do so when other people aren’t in the picture. That’s called being a part of COMMUNITY, or a FAMILY, or a SOCIETY. Some people are just so self centered, conceited, and selfish that they never seem to grasp the fact that the world exists outside of what they care about.

You insensitive #@ck! Its not ok to keep wasting talent and his parents lives this way, and needless to say continue to destroy his children’s lives as well, he is not the 20 year old star of Platoon and Wall Street anymore, and Martin Sheen has spent so much to save Charlies life, just go to rehab yourself jerk!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom is having the linerty to act as we should not as we want.

I think you may not get it, Sheen makes them money and that’s what it’s all about, they don’t voluntarly take loses, come on get real. The scandals are good for business. This is from the real world where greed rules and little else matters.

Jimmy E • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

There will be no shuttering of Two and a half Men, Charlie is a pro. His service to CBS appreciated by the Execs and fans alike. Grow a pair and enjoy life JT!

This pig who has made a fortune playing himself, namely a dumb, semi-literate turd has the gall to slam his emplyer ? Stupid tv watchers have made this twerp wealthy..He couldn’t get a broad or ho without paying for it..He knows this..He pays eveey B he sees.
Would be a nice gesture if Charlie would kill himself and stop annoying those of us who don’t care if he lives or dies..Preferably, he dies.

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

LoL… And you are better than Sheen….how exactly? Wishing death on another human being because they dont live their life how YOU see fit. Stay classy

Disgusted • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

For a guy who supposedly is making $2M per episode, he could easily afford to pay the salaries of the other cast and crew for the missed shows.

To demand that CBS and WBTV each pony up a third to match his offer of a third is asinine and narcissistic.

Screw him! Cancel the show.

Holly • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

who cares. This guy is a total addicted loser. I feel sorry for his kids.

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

LoL “Loser”? And YOU have how many millions in your bank acount? and how many legions of fans? Why do you feel sorry for his kids? He’s never once been accused of being a neglectful or bad father, and they would throw the book at him if they had ANY proof of that. He pays more in child support a month than you make in a year, lady. If only i could be such a “loser”.

Jimmy • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

YCJ — get real. What kind of example is he to his children? Drug addict, all around abuser == bad father. Making a large amount of money does not a good father make.

Anonymous • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

How do you know what kind of father he is? You have no clue. If there were ANY, i mean ANY, signs of abuse or neglect on his part, they would throw everything they could at him. They are watching him like a hawk in that aspect. The “partying” he is known for are when his kids are away and on his time. Just because someone doesent live their life according to your standards or religious beliefs doesent mean they arent a good or loving parent.

Beez • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

From another news story, the night he had a scared hooker screaming in the closet of the hotel room: “…. His two daughters were sleeping in the next room,” says the source. “Denise had to go with the cops and leave the girls with a nanny.”

Yeah, Anonymous & YCJ, great dad here. Tools.

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Yea all that and with the CPS in full blown child grabbing mode the last 10 years, and yet still no evidence to remove them or charge sheen and throw the book at him. LoL Again you have no clue what kind of father he is. Good, or bad. IF there were ANY chance to throw the book at him, take hiss assets and children the broke state of CA would do it in a heartbeat…and yet…nothing. TOOL

Rod • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Since when does money determine if someone’ a loser? Sheen is a total self-consuming moron. He’s been a loser forever.

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Uh someones job and income factors into about 89% of what one would define as a “loser”. And what makes any of you people better exactly? Most of this socitety runs around abusing alcohol, niccotine, taking serotonin reuptake inhibitors, consuming fattening food or unhealthy garbage laced with aspartame, phenylalanine, msg, etc. 99% in this country of people poison themselves or do unhealthy things at some point. I wish there were reporters and cameras following your every step so we could know all of your secrets. Over half the country cant even name their elected senators yet can tell you Lady GaGa’s latest celeb gossip, pardon me if i believe that few people on here running their mouth are much better than Sheen.

Edgar • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

He’s a functional addict, for the moment. An addiction that doesn’t interfere with your work is a minor issue. But this kind of thing grows on you. Hopefully he’ll change, and won’t be yet another Hollywood kid who died early thanks to a drug OD. Or see his career go to hell because he’s too high to remember his lines. Honestly, screwed up as he is, he’s multiple levels higher than Lohan. Which is a shame, since she’s hotter than he is.

jim • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

what’s sad is how you equate a person value by how much money they have… that is tragic… i feel sorry for you if you go thru life like that

taxPAYER • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Re-read your own post. You’re thisclose. All you need is the money, pal.

daisey • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

To the person who thinks Charlie is not a loser, I guess if money in the bank is your benchmark of whether someone is a good father or not, then he’s a terrific father. Unfortunately, he sleeps with porn stars, his an alcoholic and a crack addict. How can someone who goes on benders, runs naked through hotel lobbies, and ends up in the hospital from too much cocaine and booze be a good example to his children? Sure, when he croaks from his habits, the money will be theirs…or will it? How sad that you think the only thing that makes a good parent is money and stardom.

swiggame • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Like money makes a “good father”!

Matt • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Sheen is a loser. All the money in the world and he’s paying for hookers and doing crack by the baseball size? Because of his actions, how many people are on hiatus? His story wouldn’t even be entertaining on Intervention. He’s beyond predictable at this point.

Troy • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

YCJ, you like many others in the world are ignorant beyond belief.
You measure a persons worth by their possessions, and bank account.
It is foolish people like you, who have their moral values so twisted,that allow Hollywood celebs to reap millions for being the most worthless human beings on the planet.

I would suggest that you learn to tell the difference between wealth and worth. It is apparent you don’t know the difference today; that is pathetic.

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

You dont know anything about me or my morals you ignorant buffoon. I never measured anyones worth by what they own. I said most people in this country would define a “loser” mostly by what job they had and how much money they make. Nice job of creating a red herring argument though. And I dont allow hollywood or cbs to make any profits, i dont watch the show or see his movies. Apparently enough people do though, no one is forced to watch the show or forced CBS to give Sheen the exhorborant contract. And if they didnt like, they wouldnt watch it, and the show would be canceled. Again, you dont anything about me or my beliefs, just love pointing out people like you being hypocrites and liars. Enjoy sitting on your soap box judging others for them having the audacity to share every exact same belief as you, MR. Christ re-incarnate. And again, how is he worthless. He’s made millions of dollars for himself, his family, his empolyee. I dont care what he does on his personal time. What exactly have YOU done that makes you so much better…?

Chipgiii • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Wow! Are we now measuring character and integrity by the size of one’s checkbook? How shallow is that. No one argues his financial success. But at the end of the day, if he is not a healthy person – that other stuff is window dressing. I was rich is not a good epitath at when you are in your forties…

steve • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Clearly YCJ measurs the worth of a parent by how much money (s)he rains on the kids. There are more important things like SHOWING UP and being a decent human being.
His kids won’t think, “Man dad’s a big old drunk but I love the big gifts he sends.”

Mark • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

YCJ- the mere fact that a father throws money to his kids for support doe snot indeed make him a good father. A father is one who also works at passing on a legacy of morality, honesty, compassion, and yes, even some form of godliness. Charlie has millions, no question about it, but all the wealth in the world does not make one a good father.

As I grow older, I find that the richest father sin the world are those that can say, I led by example and my children have picked up the mantle (legacy) I am leaving and will carry it on to their children and their children’s children. One need only to look at the Joe Kennedy legacy to understand what I ma saying.

Bill • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Wow dude,
you have a really screwed sense of sucess. Millions of dollars wasted and complete strangers think you are great. Awesome. Meanwhile his kids watch daddy totally sink into self-indulgence on such a scale that it would make a French king blush. He is in his 40s and he acts as if he is 21. What part of his life do you think is worth emulating you fool?

yup • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

money in the bank does not prevent one from being an addict, a loser, or a bad father. money does not buy happiness, nor sanity. that’s so ridiculous.

SJM • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Yea, I remember my dad, he was the best. My brothers and I will always remember the Christmas dinner whenhe brought that hooker. He even let us boys unwrap her. What a guy. And there was always a little extra blow in the briefcase whenever one of us kids needed a bump. the best part was how he was always there (well, except when he was in rehab) with his wallet open and the studio lawyers on speed dial anytime there was trouble…
Get real ya moron

Swervin • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Is there ANY chance you’re acting as a “shill” for Mr. Sheen…or is YCJ really just a Young Charlie Jerk? And, when you sign back in as Anonymous to support yourself again, if you don’t change ANY of your inflections, you become a little obvious…

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Yea, i didnt “sign in” as anyone else, didnt feel like typing my name and e mail address for the 8th time. Nice try though. Yea im totally a “schill” for Sheens estate lol. I really couldnt care less about the story just love many of the peoples here hypocrisy and presumptions. Clearly, this is effecting you much more. I have no reason or desire to try and “hide”. Again, you people are so smart and enlightened that you know EVERYTHING about what kind of father a person is or someones moral beliefs from a gossip dirt sheet and internet comments section. You all take in drugs, sin, pollute the world, let others down, etc. I guess you should have cameras and repoerters following you every second of the day screaming to take your fortune and children away.

Charles Darwin • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Sheen is just another spoiled rich kid who was handed everything. If his daddy wasn’t famous, where would little Charlie be?

Nice role model you have.

Uberbilly • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

And how do you judge success? Is it cash? Is it strangers that give you attention? Is it fleeting as fame? Or is it a quality of life, is it having your children proudly point to you and say “My father is a good man.”

Quilter 77 • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

You bet he’s a loser, and if you think he’s doing just fine, then your opinion of success is way off. Having money in the bank is not a sign of success. Having a good reputation, family that can be proud of you, and being the kind of person that makes people smile when they hear your name, not cringe in horror – THAT is a successful person.

I sure hope to God that you aren’t a parent!

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Wow, so many lies and twists and red herring arguments in one paragraph. Great job! A loser is almost completely defined by what they do for an occupation and how financially stable they are. The rest of your comment was twisting and strawman arguments. Par for the course here. You are no better. And frankly, i hold your opinion of what kind of father Sheen, or even i may or may not be to have no value. You can tell a lot about someone from a comments section on a gossip dirt sheet. How enlightened you are.

Jason Burnstein • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

@YCJ …..How shallow your values are. No wonder you look at is Sheen’s money and equate to “success”. The man is a failure in every sense of the word, to his parents, himself and his children. He is so ignorant he does not even know whet an amoral slob he is and thinks that everyone respects him. He is a sorry sight doomed for failure.

YCJ • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Great job mis-quoting me, lying, and completely missing the point. You’ll fit in just great here. He doesent live his life according you YOUR beliefs and religious dogma, ergo he couldnt possibly be a quality human being. Understood.

chukkal • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

He’s been enabled for too long! Stop watching his show!!! He’s costing the network and the other actors a lot of money. The other actors could probably be somewhere else on stage if it wasn’t for this clown. He needs to be told NO! and grow up!!!

lin333 • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

I agree with many of the comments, but Charlie Sheen is being enabled to continue his bad behavior by CBS who airs the show. I do like the show, and he is a funny guy, but it becomes less humorous due to the fact that his character on the show resembles him in real life. He has five children, been divorced due to self-destructive behavior, and he still thinks he is OK! He should do himself a favor, get into intensive rehab and therapy, and disappear from the spotlight for a while. He is in denial about his problems, but the liver, heart, and lungs can only take so many rebounds. He will soon die without help, and noone wants that to happen-everyone deserves help!

JAMES • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Hey Charlie – Alls not lost when you lose your show. Just run for Congress. Then you can still do whores, drink like a fish,do drugs and mess up over 300 MILLION lives in the U.S. – You’ll feel right at home!

Money nor fame is a measure a of happiness or success. Just because he has all of that doesn’t mean he is happy. Seems pretty clear to me he is miserable. Success is living a happy and fulfilling life.

The differences between C. Sheen and RDJ are pretty simple – RDJ actually has talent, and he cleaned himself up fairly quickly. So, not a straight up comparison, imo.

$55k per ex-wife per month for child support… what kid needs $55k per month ? Pornstars are much cheaper than wives..

Gee Bill, you sound like the ultimate enabler. Sheen is really fine “on the job.” People like you are part of the problem–not the solution. Oh, btw, I do have a life–I work with substance abusers like Sheen. Contrary to your thinking, Sheen is the one who needs to get a life, a sober one. After all he apparently is in rehab and admits that he unravels quickly. Maybe he can turn it around without aby jail time.

Peter Roth, Chuck Lorre, Les Moonves, Nina Tassler just cancel this show. You’ve made a fortune. Cut your losses. Lorre has other shows. Sheen is not serious about getting sober. He’s bought a one way ticket and the end will not be pretty. He’s making everyone crazy including you. You’ve been amazing. Responsible. But it becomes irresponsible when an addict is driving multi- million dollar decisions. It’s going to make you look bad. Cut your losses and cancel the show. On many levels it’s the right thing to do.
It’s sad but his addiction is now holding a studio, a network and creative team hostage.

calvin sterk • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Weong thought Bill. I have far better moral compass on substance abuse than does Sheen. I do not abuse substances, he does. His life style has a disruptive effect on others, mine doesn’t. Clearly my miral compass is superior to his. Your’s probably is superior also. But I am curious, why are you so adversely disposed to “good doers,” would you prefer “bad doers”?

Loser • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

I could not agree more! Sheen is a petulant little brat who will repeatedly offed unless he is taught an expensive lesson. CANCEL HIS SHOW!! LET HIM SEE HOW HE LIKES BEING PERSONA NON GRATA. Maybe then he will go to a REAL rehab center and get control of his life. Sheen has earned his place among Hollywood’s elite train wrecks….Lindsay Lohan,and Paris Hilton. Hey….that’s an idea! Have them all in a new sitcom and call it “Two and a Half Addicts”!

If the spotlight ends for Charlie, he becomes what a narcissist dreads the most: being a nobody.

gingersnap • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Watching on Channel 101 right now… He doesn’t sound sober at all.

Which begs the question of how Patrick can have him on the air. For the same reason he keeps getting chances at CBS. Most people just want to make money and couldn’t care less how sick he is. They’re all scumbags, including Dan Patrick.

Comedy writer • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Come on, guys, he’s just having fun! Coke and hookers and crack never killed anyone.

Stan • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

That’s true. I mean, you’re still able to write stupid inane comments like this.

Tk • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Somebody call the morgue. Stans sense of humor is DOA. And when, pray tell, is someone going to give Emilio a chance?!

really? • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

CBS please have some balls and cancel this show. Or at least give some other deserving actor a chance to take his place. I know this will sound outrageous but haven’t you made enough money? Seriously. You’re CBS for Chrissakes. Do you want little kids thinking that a crazy alcoholic runs your network? Because right now he does.

Larry • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Hey CBS I’m 59 with a 4 year old Daughter, Now that is funny. I will do the Show, I’m much funnier than Sheen will ever be. I Crack myself up. Let me do the show.

SoberSally • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

You don’t get sober at home. This man is going to die.

LoveBrutus • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Thank God… Rot In Peace, Charlie.

me0w • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Wow, what an ungrateful attitude. HE caused the delay with his absurd, coked out, selfish, immature antics and now he’s griping because people aren’t doing things the way he would prefer? I say CBS should cut their loses on this one and fire his ass. They should bring in someone to fill his place who can deliver bland, unfunny, monotone one liners just as “good” as him and then finish out the series and be done once and for all. They have plenty of successful shows, and Big Bang is much funnier and just as successful. Get over T&HM and move on, it’s best for everyone. Let Sheen go off on his own and implode. Or, be a MAN and get the help he needs and stop acting like an idiot and someone his daughters will grow up ashamed to be related to.

Andy • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

PLEASE – CBS, Warner Bros, Leslie Moonves etc., put an end to the madness called “Two And Half Men”! Enough already – Charlie Sheen “The Whore Monger/King Of Coke etc.,” is a has been – GET RID OF THE MADNESS NAMED CHARLIE SHEEN! Send him & the other fruit cake Lindsay Lohan to some far off island and they can do sex, coke, lie, cheat & steal etc., together!

JGregg • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

just heard the clip at The Reporter. Best pull from the Dan P interview:

“that’s what it is. it’s the 29th of a non-leap year.”

oh gawd. poor, poor man. seriously. i lost a kid brother to a drug overdose (and a pal from high school in the same fashion). there’s no socially handling the dragon charlie’s been chasing. (dude, needs to read felix dennis’s (publisher of FHM, and other men’s mags) autobiography where he talks about spending $100million on drugs and hookers and hotels. sound familiar?

charlie is a troubled person who has to get his money out of his hands and into a trust. until then … dude is a ticking bomb and on deck for next year’s morbid “remember them” roll at next year’s golden globes or emmy show.

Buy-bye Charlie • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

They’re cutting their losses they save eight million dollars by not having to pay Charlie for those four extra episodes. If they’re smart they’ll cancel the show in April there’s no need for it to return next year just put it out of its misery and hire the same crew including the writers for a new Chuck Lorre series so they can continue to work in Burbank and earn money on a much better show. Or just bring in Scott Baio to replace Charlie if they do that it could run for two additional years no problem.

MrJeff • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Ha – we were writing the same info at the same time! See my post, below.

No reason why Charlie Sheen can’t walk out a door and Baio walks back in, with a wink at the camera.

Forty-eight episodes later, everybody cashes their checks.

Zarko • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Scott Baio? What is this the 1980’s?

george • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Replace him with Scott Baio? What is this, Bewitched?

mikey c • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Charlie’s wildly successful, his show’s wildly successful and Scott Bsyo couldn’t fit in Charlie’s jockstrap. Why don’t you “kick ’em while they’re down”, “holier than thou” jealous “blue noses” admit that he not only makes a small fortune, but makes Jon Cryer, young Angus and the rest of the cast, including the studios and CBS a ton of money. That just drives people like you crazy, doesn’t it. I will admit the over-use of cocaine should end. I know what I’m talking about…..and it’s really not that hard……quitting coke, that is.

Cary Coatney • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

It just occured to me that Jon Cryer used to have a respectable acting career before all this. What the hell happened?

I mean, there was Superman IV: The Quest for Peace…and…

Charlie Sheen seems to have forgotten that his foray into episodic TV came when he replaced Michael J. Fox on SPIN CITY.

Fox bowed out due to the onset of his Parkinson’s Syndrome. ABC and the producers thought that Sheen would give them a fifth year for syndication. But the ratings went UP and they got a surprise sixth season.

If there was a sitcom god, Sheen would be shown the door. Chuck Lorre and company would come up with a twist for season nine with a new co-star (significantly decreasing above-the-line production costs as well).

And if that direction caught on, they might even get a season 10 out of the old warhorse. Stranger things have happened. TWO AND A HALF MEN has a high enough rating that a 25 percent drop would STILL position it in the top 25.

Carol • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Nice memory with the Spin City bit.
Yeah, I remember that. Made me mad that they opted out of MJF due to something that was beyong his control and replaced him with someone who was unreliable and an addict.
Just didn’t make sense.

Mr. Schwump • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Yeah right. Let’s just get everyone back to work at a moment’s notice because Charlie is banging on the door.

Apparently he should have telegraphed his intentions via TMZ yesterday, so that everyone can drop what they are doing to serve him.

Obvious Question • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Who in their right mind in the UCLA Athletic Department allowed this guy within 1,000 feet of its baseball team?

Obvious Answer • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Of course he’s qualified to talk to UCLA’s baseball team! He was in Major League, remember?

Carol • on Feb 14, 2011 10:35 am

Oh, well, God forbid that anyone get mad at him for all the times people showed up to work on the set and it was closed down because His Royal Drugness was either too wasted or was in court or was in jail or was in the hospital or was in hiding…

I mean how many times have they closed production because of him?
Is he really worth it anymore?

I stopped watching the show ages ago, because I just got tired of looking at him.
